Customer Reviews

Out-of-date Information
I know that others have given high praise but I found the information to be very out of date, such as a bike trail that has been paved for over 10 years listed as crushed rock and a museum showing in the location it was over ten years ago. This 3rd edition has a 2001 copyright and I expect information to be fairly up-to-date. This was a very disappointing purchase. I am not using it because I doubt the reliability. It looks nice but is not a good reference for my needs.

Don't leave home without it
I join the other reviewers in wishing there were more detailed city street maps in this series. As others have said if you are traveling from one city to another by major roads then you are better off with mapquest directions (as dodgy as they sometimes are) or the foldout highway map you can buy at a gas station. However, if you travel back roads, camp, fish, hike, canoe, etc., then this book is invaluable. I have relied on this book to provide us with out of the way camping spots and it's never let me down. Most state and national forest campgrounds don't appear on highway maps, but this book has them. It's also especially useful if you want to find alternative routes, scenic drives, or short cuts off of major highways.

Minnesota Atlas
The detail at which this (and other atlases) are produced is amazing. Small towns and cities have most if not all of their streets depicted, and this map picks up where state highway maps leave off. As a lifelong Minnesota resident, I was always impressed with the detail of our official state highway map, until I started driving some of the many small county roads, particularly in the western portions of the state. I soon learned that many, but certainly not all roads are on the official map.

The Delorme atlas fills the gap. I've yet to drive a road that is not on this map, and for this reason alone, it will accompany me on any future journies. This map also includes drainage ditches, landing strips, water treatment centers, and many other useful features. This makes it useful to public works departments or other government agencies who might need to know such locations.

The oveall size (it's the same size as Rand McNally atlases) allows it to fit beneath a car seat, and it is organized with a quick reference map-index on the back cover. A complete gazateer in inside. These atlases are essential for any traveler.
